President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have reached an agreement to conduct at least two debates before the November general election. The first debate, hosted by CNN, is scheduled for June 27, with a second debate confirmed for September 10 on ABC. The specifics of these debates are yet to be disclosed.
This development follows the Biden campaign’s decision to bypass the Commission on Presidential Debates’ traditional schedule, proposing instead to hold debates in June and September, with an additional vice presidential debate in July.
Trump expressed his readiness on Truth Social, advocating for more than two debates and suggesting a large venue to accommodate crowds. He humorously jabbed at Biden, implying that the president avoids large venues due to low turnout.
The Commission on Presidential Debates, which has been organizing debates since 1988, faced criticism from both political parties regarding its selection of dates and moderators. The commission had planned the first debate for September 16, but the Biden campaign’s proposal for an earlier debate aligns with significant events, including the G7 Summit and the conclusion of Trump’s legal proceedings. The agreement signifies a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the election, with both candidates preparing to present their visions to the American public.
